VanTUG  Security GM Joins Startup Week Events  @ BCTIA Inovation Hub

Ever read a cybersecurity headline and wondered why you should care? Do you wonder why pretty much every definition of cybersecurity is different? well you are not alone… During this presentation I am going to fastidiously avoid redefining cybersecurity (again) and steer well clear of brow beating you in to being scared of the interwebs. Instead, I am going to discuss how people perceive cybersecurity globally. Now you ask, why should I care about that… well, there are amusing pictures animals for one thing. Oh, and you might just learn something about whether citizens believe the internet is a military battle ground or just open season for good old fashioned capitalism. There will also be a good smattering of predictions and completely unsubstantiated guesses as to the next big issues in cybersecurity.
